DEARBORN, Michigan — June 11, 2024. Ford Motor Company has announced a recall of more than 90,000 Ford Bronco vehicles from the 2021 through 2024 model years, citing a potential suspension defect that could increase crash risk, according to a statement released to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration today.
What is the issue? The recall addresses a rear suspension toe link that may crack or fracture, potentially leading to a loss of vehicle control.

When was this announced? The recall was officially filed with NHTSA on June 10, 2024, following an investigation that began in March 2023.
Why is this happening? The defect stems from a heat-treating process in the manufacturing of the rear suspension toe link, which can result in reduced durability and potential fracture under high-load conditions.
